Hi, Erika, Thank you for your suggestion. I'll try though I'm not sure they are interested in this application-specific question.
In our (of the majority of Taiwanese) platforms, either win32 or linux, we use Big5-based text in daily work instead of unicode. Therefore the locale or codepage is set to zh_TW.Big5 system-widely. Unicode (any of the encoding schemes) is rarely seen to be the encoding of plain text in daily use. As far as I know, people only use it in system level design, such as FAT file system's filename or MS Word's binarily-encoded .doc files. In fact, it's the Big5's world, neither Unicode's nor of a mix. Up to now, I've never seen a single document (plain text) written in unicode, except those from email - could be thought to be "wrongly" encoded by some MUA inadvertently. Because it's mutt's problem to cope with multiple charsets (which is the purpose and flexibility of MIME) rather than the system, I don't really expect it would be answered by any hacker other than a Mutter. :-) best regards, charlie On Mon, Mar 11, 2002 at 09:45:31AM +0100, Erika Pacholleck wrote: > [11.03.02 09:50 +0800] Charles Jie <-- : > > I'm the only Asian in this mailing list since I was in 3 months ago.
